The 30-year-old was arrested yesterday after a major emergency response descended on Falkner Street at about 7.30pm and police found three bodies at a property.

The man fell ill and was admitted to hospital after the arrest but is now set to be interviewed by detectives investigating the alleged triple murder.

After the incident at number 36, a former home of John Lennon , nearby houses were evacuated following reports of a gas leak and though no fuel leak was found, forensic teams combing the scene today could be seen wearing gas masks and police confirmed a “substance was being tested”.

“He has been taken to a police station in Merseyside to be interviewed.”

A large cordon had been set up around the area last night and Catharine Street remained closed this morning, with cars being redirected away from the scene. No smoking signs and a National Grid emergency sign were visible outside the properties closest to the scene.
